And who knocked Creed down a notch? I said it's hard for a C to be a cornerstone player. Look at the market for Cs vs. Gs - guards are clearly more highly valued in the league. I couldn't explain to you why, but the market makes it clear that teams see Gs as more important players.

And even at that, Nelson had a hell of a tough road to being a real franchise type player at G. He managed it because he made the All Pro team his first 3 years in the league. He hasn't just been good, he's been exceptional.

I don't know how many guys have EVER done that, but it can't be more than a dozen. Maybe Zack Martin or Patrick Willis in recent history? Nelson has been a HoF caliber player from the moment he took the field.
Trey Smith, 6th round pick.

Yea, he isn’t quite Nelson off the bat, but if we’re going to blow Ballard for the Nelson pick, then Veach deserves that plus a finger in the butt.
